What is the best way to paint a room, skirtings or walls first?

The walls are bare plaster and the wood is bare also. I have primed the skirtings and a lot of the primer went onto the plaster walls. I hope that painting over this with Emulsion will hide it.What is the best way to paint a room, skirtings or walls first?
if the primer for the wood is darker or will bleed through the paint on the plaster then use kilz. it is an undercoat that covers just about anything. had a plumb room in a friends place. they wanted eggshell white. primed it with kilz and one coat of the white. no bleed through.


i would use regular drywall primer and if that doesnt stop the bleethrough from the spatters from the wood then use kilz on those spots.


i always paint the walls then the baseboards.What is the best way to paint a room, skirtings or walls first?
tape off the skirtings and paint the walls first then after they have dried paint the skirting.
Wals first, believe me!!
